me: haha, clown video card
ideal Matrox Mystique customer: Uh, excuse me? It's a harlequin??
Which was obviously classier, and Futureproof because it was 2 years before the end of the world!
oh wow this was the 3D card we had in our family PC.
I don't recall any instances of it successfully accelerating a game
Yeah it could do texturing, but not bilinear filtering. So any game that needed that (i.e. 99.9% of them) was back to good old software. It was a total con.
We had that card as well and I think it didn't support OpenGL?
At least to play Q2 or Half Life in anything but software mode I needed a Voodoo2..
What bugs me about 90s and early 00s video card advertisements is that they would always have a piece of artwork on them that the card itself was totally incapable of rendering.
